UserError: Conflict found, edit-config changes from config.xml will overwrite plugin.xml changes.

Please describe the issue:

Tried to build an iOS app this morning, but came across this error. Not sure what this is related to, since I tried building an older version of the app, which compiled with no issues back then, but I’m getting the error now.

Here is the error log.

This issue is likely due to an incompatibility with the latest cordova-ios engine, as documented here: Cordova iOS 8.x Issues - VoltBuilder Announcements - VoltBuilder

Please try using engine 7.1.1 as see if that solves the issue.

It indeed was. It ran perfectly fine now. Thanks! How does this temporary solution affect the app in terms of functionality and performance?

You should have no issues with this for the time being. It would be a good idea to determine which plugins are causing this issue so that you can notify the maintainers or find replacements. This can often be determined by looking at the build log.
